ently not and hence implements it differently without support for a lot of things possible elsewhere. If you can come up with a list of use cases for that option (personally, I don't see a good one) without too much by-catch we might be able to implement a transition notice like I did for non-free-firmware. Too late, too little, but at least it would prevent future misuse. Best regards David Kalnischkies signature.asc Description: PGP signature

2023-05-03 Thread David Kalnischkies
bad advise given about how to add 3rd party sources, but I don't think it is the release notes job to explain how to do that properly (and, as said, it varies a bit by 3rd party). As a sidenote – not a recommendation from me as I never used it myself – the package "extrepo" is supposed to help with the usecase of adding 3rd party repositories; it isn't new either but feel free to check it out.

e, the command line interfaces are more concerned with trying to making sense of what the user might have meant with its (incomplete) input rather than being 100% machine predictable. That apt-* are used in a lot of scripts doesn't change that, it makes it in fact worse, as changing the behaviour is impossible without breaking others.
